Abstract excerpt
The intent of this study was to assess the effects of continued laboratory subculturing on selected biochemical properties of oral streptococci freshly isolated from dental plaque. Six fresh isolates (3 Streptococcus mutans and 3 non-mutans) and 2 laboratory strains were subcultured daily for a total of 225 transfers, and cells were harvested every 75 transfers from duplicate batch cultures grown with glucose at...
